Mom has been very busy with that dog - KING! But she has found time to read thx to her iPhone. Sad for me, cuz I really enjoyed chewing on the paper pages as she turned them.

Oh well. At least I get to rub under the nose of the King. That upsets Mom. She thinks King will just lick my head off while I purr. No way ... He likes his treats better than me! But I still make Mom crazy by snuggling up to the big 50 pound pup - He is almost 6 months old. I LIKE HIM A LOT! So much that I purr really loud when I see him. He respects me cuz I whap him on the nose if he gets to frisky. Mom says I've trained him better than her. YES I HAVE!

Anyways ... Look to the right of this post & you'll see the books on Mom's reading list.She loves this new site called Goodreads.If you are on there let her know!She would love to see what you're reading or have read.

Meantime ... Below are pics of 4 of the 6 of us!First ME ... Waiting for the waters to fall. Always.Then Tannie Man ... He loves the waters to fall.Little Bunny ... She does NOT like the waters to fall. She just wants a water pond in the tub.

The tub is a very social place in the morning & at night. We all want something different.

Blackie likes his own water from the bathroom sink.

Miss Simba avoids the bathroom at all costs. She has had some kerfuffles in there! (((with me! i started it.)))

I have been protesting this dog's arrival via my non-use of the litter box for #2.Yup, I have.

And Mom has given up & decided that I must be loved with the dog.Yipppee!

So last night she picked me up & hoisted my furry self over the babygate.She made me a bed on the counter where I could really get a good view of that dog.

I really enjoyed the view, napping in the sink, drinking from the sink & watching that dog.

Funny ... I give him my fierce growl/hiss & he sits!!

WHAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!

I can control that dog. Who knew.

Daisy Jiji does it all the time & now walks right by him when he is sleepy & that dog just lays there.She greets him every morning after his quick run outside.He always looks for her & is sad if she is not waiting for him.LOL!!

BTW, Mom gets no sleep in our house anymore!She is sleepy a lot.

Today that dog has gone to the groomer for social action.Mom left him with Minnie a little cute pooch .... 10 months old vs King's 3 months ... She was wearing him out.That makes Mom happy to see King happy!!: )

Good times,Blackie=^,,^=/

PS. King weighs 21 pounds & has had all his puppy shots.

He has walked with Alice at the Rose Jugglers.

And he has many new dog friends that he has met at Starbucks!

Thank the heavens for Starbucks Mom says - That & men who love to wrestle with King!

See the pup with his pink tub ... He gives kitty rides in it. His human Mom says one of the young kitties in the house wrestles with him & then gets a ride in the tub. This is what endeared me to this guy.

Love that little kitty paw - MEOW!

Wish us luck!!We will be singing the Sneaky Snake song in the car on the way there ...

First, everyone pls vote on the Woofie Poll above.See Tommy's comment in the Poll. So sweet!

Next, our friend Brynn makes friends with Blackie.Previously Blackie would always hiss at Brynn.Brynn had lots of smells on her feet. Woofie smellzzz.But, you bring Blacke treats & you are friends for life.See the photo below ... Click on it for a better view!

Status on the Woofie search: CRAZY! The story from our Mom:Currently I have filled out 4 different Dog Rescue applications.Mostly for Golden Retrievers. 'GR'My goal is to find a good natured dog that will fit in well with all the kitties.Based upon my research, I am convinced a puppy/young dog will be best for all.There are many puppies that show up in care of the Rescue Groups.

The crazy part:Friday I contacted one Group with a cute GR puppy.The dog was unavailable because Friday it was transported to Colorado. WHAT?They load up Texas dogs & 6 times a year transport them all to a PetsMart in Colorado hoping they will be adopted.The puppy I liked was adopted by someone in Colorado today.Sheesh.

1. I am looking at the Honda Element with the "Doggie Package"2. I jumped in the Rose Jugglers pool with my dress on yesterday. Heehee!3. This morning I cried at the end of a great book: The Dog House, by Carol Prisant4. Tannie Man sleeps under my arm every night in bed5. I feel bad that Blackie must have insulin shots 2x a day6. I am so proud that my Milkweed has survived the Texas heat7. I am lucky to have good friends like Lizzie Bean, Brynn Bean & all their critters!

Just look at this pic below ... She thinks this is herself.Just where are the cats, we ask! ???

AND, she brought a WOOFIE in our house.YES SHE DID!

The Woofie is gone now.Mom says the Woofie was not right for our family(Note to Mom - Uh, no Woofie, Thx!)

----- The Story -----

Mom has always wanted a Woofie.She grew up with Boston Terriers "BT".

Based upon the BT's visit last night, Mom is going for a Golden Retriever.~ Long story ...Mom found one & hopes to meet it tomorrow.She is a pretty rescue girl of 3 months old.Combo of Lab & Golden, reported to be shy.Yeah right!

BTW, the BT that came to visit us last night was very interesting.I sat on the other side of the inside dining room glass french doors & hissed at the BT.I got very fluffy & just hissed a lot like a snake.I also did not move from the glass!

I was transfixed.

Blackie joined me.He let me do all the hissing.The BT barked at us.

Mom says the BT was deaf & could not hear us.Whatever!

Needless to say Blackie & I were very curious.Mom says, clueless!

The other kitties in the house were under Mom's bed with the door shut.Chickens!

Although Daisy Jiji puffed up like a blowfish before Mom whiskered her away. Hee hee!=^..^=xxooTannie Man aka Sweet T

Do you see that girl in the straw hat on the right side of our bloggy? You do? That is our Mom!

I helped her make her Meez. Notice her outfit & background, this is where Mom & I have our best quality time - Outside. It is the only time I like to sit in her lap & purr like a crazy kitty. It makes us both very happy.

Notice Mom's outfit. She is wearing a t-shirt & pajama bottoms. She really does this. And her long sleeve button down has Skeeto repellent in it. Those Skeetos love to bit Mom & Tannie Man's ears too! Not me.

Hey, help your Beans make a Meez. Just click on Mom's straw hat & you'll go to the Meez web site. It's FREE!

There were Men-with-Tools & big smelly boots in our house! Look what they did ...

Oh my GOSH, where did the wall go? Tannie inspects these very strange doors.

And, WHAT is that big opening next to the windows? Little Bunny hops on her tree & Tannie watches below.

Daisy Jiji take time to give her tummy a cat bath ... In Mom's office.

Now that the men are gone ... When Mom works there is room for all of us. Before we would crowd her while she worked & get into kitty spats. Now there is so much space & we can see Mom from any part of both of the rooms!

The BEST part is, I got to get a head pat from one of the Med-with-Tools. I was jittery & nervous. Mom could tell I wanted to bond. So one of the nice Men approached me. I got a quick head pat & ran off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for posting while Mom has our bloggy in SPAM mode. We got one SPAM that I covered in the litter box!!

Now ... For the Cool -n- HOT!

Me: HOT ! [click on the pic to see my handsome refection]

Pool: CoolMe: No swim

Blackie: Once, he took a dip with Mom right by his side. She was not happy & came in with a wet Blackie. He licked his toes & shook salt water all over us. Me I am too smart to take a dip. Mom said Blackie looked like a wet baby duck & he could swim - WOW. He was in the water a total of 10 seconds - No worries, he growls at the water on the side he hopped in. Silly B!

(Psst. If I got this flittery thingy, I would have EATEN him ... Shhhhhh, don't tell my Mom, k?)

This is me after Mom yelled at me ... I went looking for frogs or something ... PFFT!

Click on the pics to see how wonderful & pretty I am. I am in the tall grass Mom sectioned off for me. See that window ... Each night That Little Bunny stays up late, past midnight, looking out into my tall grass -- mousies-n-stuff!

Our Mom has made a special Awardy for the furries that have posted pics of the Hidey poses. We knowz this to be impawtant because the Boogeymanz & Bugbears are always on the looose!

Just today, I thought I heard one. Mom always has to stop what she is doing & go check out the situation. (Sometimes I just stare into space fur nothing - Tannie does it too. Don't tell Mom but, we like to see her jump up & go looks for Boogeymanz!}

The Awardy is like the Gold Oscars in Hollywood. Our Awardy is the Golden Bunnies!!!! {Named after me!}

The organic garden is busting out thx to Mother Nature's rain festival. It also helps to have connections to a very 'hot' Horticulturist. He'z very hot, like a long tall drink of Texas tea. Nice to find a good man with a soil degree from Texas A&M.

[To all Happy 4th or happy day. I finally took the time to try to capture Miss Crazy Town. One photo just wasn't enough. She just moves to fast & wants lots of pets along the way. Here is a sample of 5 minutes with Daisy Jiji! While I chased her around with my iPhone, all the other cats were sound asleep - Always the case. Daisy meeps at me until I play with her when the gang naps. Enjoy ... The youngest & crazyest of my bunch ~ Miss Daisy Jiji.]

Footnote: Daisy Jiji has finally gone to sleep. She enjoyed the photo shoot. Especially getting to be lifted into the cabinet with the toilet paper. I got a couple of biteys when I lifted her out!

Whenever Daisy eats she must have me there to pet her head. She happily crunches on Blackie's dry food while I sit & provide a head massage. Blackie usually watches. Yes, this all occurs in the master bathroom. It's a long story, but it works for everyone!

Daisy wrapped up her photo session at Little Bunny's snack area in the guest bedroom. A rare moment for Daisy Jiji. Usually LB chases her out. Instead she got a big snack for her hard work as a kitty model!
